Caleb Bball

Hi!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to this new month! As you know, my son Caleb is currently playing basketball and I wanted to give a quick update as the season winds down. His team is currently 8 – 9. They had a rough couple of games at the beginning of their season, but they have worked so hard learning to play together. There is a huge improvement in the way the play now compared to the way they played in November! They Tuslaw Basketball program’s motto is: “Play Harder, Play Smarter, Play More Together.” They are proving this to be true! Good job, Tuslaw Mustangs 7th Grade Basketball Team! Caleb is #40!

Have a great weekend,
Kristy

Super Bowl!

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Well, the Super Bowl is set with the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. I’m expecting a great game between these two teams. They both have great coaches and players. I’m sure the coaches on both teams will have a great game plan, since they have had two weeks to prepare. New England is the team I want to win, since they got our homegrown offensive coordinator back. Josh McDaniels is from the Canton area, which is right down the street. It’s always nice to see local people win in big games.

Who do you think is going to win?

Have a great weekend,
Steve

One Week Down…

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Hi there, and Happy Friday!

Well, we’re one week into the New Year. Are you still sticking with your resolutions? Do you have all of your decorations taken down? I took my tree down the day after Christmas, and started to reorganize my attic while we were closed. It’s a sickness, but I love organizing and cleaning! Just ask my mother how many times I’ve tried to help her clean out her basement! Unfortunately, I like to clean like the TV shows – 3 second decisions and throwing away or keeping. It’s bad for people that want me to help them clean, but good for my own house. I hate clutter! That is one of my New Year’s resolutions: get rid of the clutter in my life. Drop the things that take up valuable time, clean out closets and dressers and cupboards, and whittle down to the basics.

What is your resolution? I’d love to hear them!

Have a great weekend,

Anne

Time to Ring in the New!

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

Atlanta ShowroomJanuary is appropriately named after Janus, the God of the Doorway. For many, the door opens to New Year’s resolutions, to others it opens to new beginnings and promises, and to others it is a time to clean out the old to make way for the new. January at Blossom Bucket means much of the same. Winter Shows ring in the New Year with the opportunity to preview our exciting collections ready to fill shelves with fresh, new product. Showrooms and temporary show booths have been revamped to showcase this merchandise in fresh creative ways.

Let the doors open and the shows begin!

Health, Happiness, and Prosperity in 2012!!

New Year Traditions

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

Happy New Year!!  I can not believe 2012 is already here.  It seems like just yesterday we were worried about the 2000 Y2K bug. Goodness do you remember that?  I think I still have jugs of water stored in my basement.

Thankfully nothing like that is looming over us for 2012.  I always enjoy celebrating the New Year because after Christmas everything is kind of dragging after all the excitement of gift giving so the New Year Celebration is a welcome event.  Do you have any traditions that you follow every year?  In my family we have stuck to the same ole traditions for years.  On New Year’s Eve the kids and I stay up playing games or watching movies and eating junk until way after midnight.  Then the next day we spend the day watching parades, enjoying football, and eating our typical New Year’s Day meal.  We have always had some type of meat with collard greens and black eyed peas.  My grandparents taught me to eat lots of greens and peas on the first day of the year to bring good luck and lots of money for the coming year (greens for dollar bills, and brown peas for pennies.) This has been our menu ever since I can remember!

What are the tried and true traditions that your family honors for New Years Day?  I would love to hear them.

A Happy New Year’s Eve!

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

1111-43513 Family is Love

Happy New Year’s Eve! I hope you are busy prepping your festivities for the evening! I usually don’t have extravagant plans to ring in the New Year, and this year is the same. I will be making a big roaster full of pork and sauerkraut and watching the ball drop on the television in my living room. Can’t hold this party animal back! Haha!

My family usually brings out the board games, the sparkling grape juice, and the laughs. We spend the evening enjoying each other’s company and trying to beat one another in one of the new games my kids got for Christmas, stopping only to countdown and welcome the brand New Year! It is a blast!

Barbara Lloyd couldn’t have summed it up any better with this new sampler. Family definitely is LOVE.

If you are heading out this evening, have a safe and enjoyable New Year! Welcome, 2012! How do you ring in the New Year?

Happy New Year!
